I don't know how many times I have said this, but I won't get tired of saying it.
Because almost every week, I read from wives who have regrets.
I have told you young women, if you have 10 men who are interested in marrying you, and 9 out of the 10 are below 35.
Please consider the 9 below 35 before considering the one above 35.
And that one who says he's 36 or 37, please verify that he is truly 36 or 37.
We have married women who are not even 35 yet who are already the breadwinners.
And their husbands are in their 40s or 50s.
Stop saying that you like much older men.
Keep the age gap slim and make sure that he's not a lazy man.
If a man that is far older than you says that he wants to marry you, make sure that he's not a struggling man.
He must show signs or evidence that he's doing well, and that his source of income is sustainable.
Do not listen to his pity stories.
Do not listen to "God will provide."
Do not get carried away with his "mature talks."
Do not get carried away by how good he is in bed.
This economy is tough.
And you need young men who would swallow their pride and get their hands dirty to feed, cloth and house you and your future children.
All these above 35 men have uneccesary pride and before you know it, when they get to their 40s, they'll tell you that they're tired and cannot do certain jobs to feed you and pay the bills anymore.
They'll start to depend on you.
If you try to remind them to buckle up, they'll start accusing you of wanting to kill them.
They'll be comparing themselves with their mates who are doing well, even when they have not put in the same effort.
They'll be attending village meetings and performing 'ummuna' upandan.
They'll be going from one church to another, looking for miracles.
They'll be going to the village to look for land that they can sell.
They'll be involving themselves in local politics and placing sports bets and gambling to see if they can make a little money.
And you will be aging faster than you should.
These things that I am warning you against are real, and they happen every day.
If you search within your family, you'd see at least one example of what I am talking about.
A man's most productive years start from 25 and begin to peak from 50.
Anything that he has not been able to achieve at 50, he'll struggle to achieve thereafter.
Except he has built a proper foundation for himself and planned accordingly.
Then that's when you'd see him happy in his 50s and still very responsible towards you and the children.
I am not God, but I know that I have wisdom.
And I also know that men would not be happy with this thread, and I don't care.
End.

Here's how it reads: if you plant, you will reap." — Jim Rohn

"You can't work your way to Heaven. You can do good works all of your life, but you can't build up enough good works to get to Heaven. The only way you can get to Heaven is through Christ, who died on the cross and who shed His blood for your sins." —Billy Graham
In the past 25 years, 90% of the food that I have eaten were prepared by my lovely wife.
That woman started taking cooking my meals from my 200 level when we started cohabiting.
It will be extremely hard for any woman to replace her in my life.
I really want to encourage all young men that are in a longterm relationship.
As long as you have not caught her cheating, please do all you can to marry her.
It doesn't matter if she's not as beautiful as the woman that you're cheating with.
It doesn't matter if she is not so crazy in bed like the Ashawos or baddies that you fuck.
It doesn't matter if she has insulted you before and it got to your skin (women have bad mouth).
Look beyond all these things.
Look at the sacrifices that she has made for you and not the sacrifices that you have made for her (women are more loyal to their sacrifices than yours).
Check for character and shame and family upbringing more than things that are ephemeral.
Check for sexual compatibility far more than your sexual fetish.
The peace that you'll experience by choosing a woman that overlooks your excesses and is your number one cheerleader is awesome.
Strive to stay ahead of her in almost all things without necessarily dimming her shine (it will always make her look up to you).
Learn to share your money with your wife and be financially transparent to her if she has proven to be trustworthy.
You will enjoy your marriage with her, I promise you.
Most importantly, if she's a kind woman.
If you treat your wife well, it will become a habit.
And even when you decide to stray, most of the women that you'd meet will not be interested in destroying what you have built with your wife.
But if you're a shitty man to your good wife, and you paint her bad outside, you'd give other women the opportunity to destroy your marriage and they may not even be interested in replacing her.
Because they'll also see you as a shitty man, and milk you silly.
It starts from your relationship.
Build it.
Nurture it.
Lead it right.
And make her your wife.
When you choose your wife, you have chosen your destiny.
End.
A lot of people work so hard and don’t spend on themselves, always putting the needs of others above theirs. It’s unfair. I say take good care of yourself. The breadwinner should eat his bread too.
If you have money, get the best of everything. Life is short. Take care of yourself and improve on the things that add quality to your life.
Use the best phone.
Get the best watch.
Wear the best clothes and shoes.
Get the best toothbrush and toothpaste.
Take your kids to the best schools.
Eat at the finest restaurants.
Shit in the fanciest toilet.
Sleep on the softest memory foam bed and pillow.
If you come from a place where your passport is at a disadvantage, buy a second citizenship.
There’s no reward for mediocrity or suffering. Life is short. And if you don’t have the money? Don’t settle for mediocre, there’s greatness within everyone.
Mercedes-Benz will always have a special place in my heart. ❤️🚘
Not because it's just a car.
There's something about the engineering, the sound and the feeling.

FORGIVENESS MUST PRECEDE FRUITFULNESS! 🔥
—GENESIS 41:51–52
Until you forgive, you cannot truly be fruitful.
Joseph is a powerful example of a mind governed by the Word. When his brothers stood before him as Prime Minister, he had every reason to look back at the betrayal, pain, and suffering they had caused him. Yet, Joseph chose forgiveness and moved forward.
You cannot make progress while constantly looking backward, neither can you walk backward into your future. If you are going into your future, you must face forward!
What a powerful illustration of THE WORD AND THE MIND!
Beloved, do not allow yesterday’s offence to occupy the mind God has given you for tomorrow. Forgive, release, face forward, and allow the Word of God to govern your mind.🙏🔥
God wants us to depend on Him. Too often, we’re striving to make things happen, discouraged because it’s taking too long, trying to beat down doors. God is saying, “Come to Me. Ask Me for help. Call on My name and acknowledge Me as your Source.”
